A much needed step-VP announcing $100 million
Posted: Dec 10, 2013
"This afternoon, surrounded by families of victims of 12/14, Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to announce that $100 million will be made available to increase access to mental health services and improve mental health facilities. The funding comes as part of the Obama Administration’s ongoing commitment to help individuals experiencing mental health problems.
The Vice President will discuss the new funding during a meeting at The White House with families who lost loved ones during the shooting in Newtown, as well as mental health advocates, according to a White House advance.
The funding will come from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA).
HHS will issue a $50 million funding opportunity to help Community Health Centers establish or expand behavioral health services for people living with mental illness or addiction.
Community Health Centers can use these new funds, made available through the Affordable Care Act, for efforts such as hiring new mental health professionals and adding mental health and substance abuse disorder services the release states.
Additionally, USDA has set a goal of financing $50 million for the construction, expansion, or improvement of mental health facilities in rural areas over the next three years.
These funds, made available through the Department’s Community Facilities direct loan program, can be used to pay professional fees and put in place innovative tools such as telemedicine. This will allow additional mental health professionals to serve rural communities from a distance, according to the advance...."

One More Step In The Right DirectionOct 22, 2013
just got approved for a streamline FHA refinance. will be dropping 2% on my mortgage, down from $815 a month to $643 a month. Closing cost is about as much as current mortgate so with the payment skipped the first month plus escrow check being cut i will actually make a little money on it. The bad: I have set myself back 5 years as I refinanced it for another 30 years but a lower payment will help me keep my house. Plus I can't rent a safe place for my family f ...
A Step-daughterJul 08, 2014
A few months back I posted about my stepfather, who was becoming involved with a much younger woman he met at the senior center. He turned 90 in march; She 70 in February. She packs on the makeup, wears tight shorts, wears hats with a feather on, which she cocks to one side of her head. She is disgusting. She lies and starts trouble at every turn. Sadly, my relationship with my stepfather is over. He believes this woman loves him. He has moved her in, g ...

Pray A Doctor Will Step Up.Sep 20, 2010

We really aren't ones to sue, but this has changed our lives forever, as my husband will never be able to work again, and has gone through more than most people can even imagine! Any and all prayers will be greatly appreciated. I know God has a p ...

I would really appreciate some advice here because I just don't know what I am supposed to do. With the exception of my mother's funeral, I have not seen my step-sister in almost 40 years. She and her mother had moved to a different state several years before I moved out from home and to a yet different state when I turned 18. When we each came home to visit, we never came at the same time, thus never saw each other. She is younger than me and I remember h ...

One Simple Step Trump Can Take That Would ChillNov 20, 2016
He should arrest a few of the CEO's of companies that are violating the law by employing illegals. Throw these greedy profit-driven scofflaws in prison, levy huge fines against their companies, and the rest will quickly get the message, you can be sure. Rationale: We're asked to believe that most illegals come to the US to find work. If this is true, and it may be, then cutting off the jobs would both damp down the influx of new arrivals AND would likely cause the se ...
